I listen to a plethora of podcasts and recently The K Street Catholic podcast from the Catholic Information Center which has a large number of speakers and topics. This week among other podcasts they had the Archbishop of Washington D.C. Donald W. Wuerl, S.T.D. talk about the catechetical renewal of the Catholic Church. He is an excellent speaker and truly a master catechist and you can go here to listen to it directly or better yet to subscribe to their RSS feed via your favorite podcast tool.
